One day before the New York City Mayoral election, incumbent Michael Bloomberg leads
Comptroller William Thompson 50 - 38 percent, with 10 percent undecided, among likely voters,
according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Conservative Party candidate Stephen
Christopher has 1 percent.

This compares to a 53 - 35 percent Mayor Bloomberg lead in an October 26 survey by the
independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University.

Only 13 percent of Thompson or Bloomberg backers say they might change their mind.

"Mayor Michael Bloomberg hangs on to his double-digit lead the day before the
election," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.

From October 29 - November 1, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,360 New York City
likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. The sample was drawn from
registered voter lists based on people who have voted in recent elections.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio and
nationwide as a public service and for research.
